Billy Cundiff is a great kicker. He was a pro bowler.
His Life With The Greatest Team In The NFL-
Cundiff was brought in by the Baltimore Ravens for a workout on November 10, 2009[4] and was signed on November 18, 2009[5] to replace Steve Hauschka, who was waived on November 17.[6]
Cundiff re-signed with the Ravens to return for the 2010 season. Cundiff was voted to the 2011 Pro Bowl as the AFC placekicker after successfully completing 26 of 29 field goal attempts and a league-high 40 touchbacks. On January 2, 2011, Cundiff recorded his league-leading 40th touchback, which tied the NFL record set by Mitch Berger. Berger performed his feat in 1998 with the Minnesota Vikings, playing at home in the indoor Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome before the NFL instituted the K-ball rule (where a brand new set footballs had to be used for every special teams play each game). Cundiff currently plays at home in the outdoor M&T Bank Stadium and set the record after the institution of the K-ball rule. He averaged 71.1 yards per kickoff to lead the league and had touchbacks on 51.3% of his kickoffs.
Cundiff signed a five-year, $15 million contract to become Baltimore's long-term kicker on January 23, 2011.[7]
In the closing seconds of the 2011 AFC Championship Game[8], Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal wide left against the New England Patriots, which sealed a Super Bowl XLVI berth for New England.
